“You are the Madam Kou and Gu Chengbin?” Looking at their age and figure, Liu Yi felt that they were very similar to the person they were looking for.
The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, then he straightened his neck and shouted, “Who are you talking about? I’ve never even heard of it. I’m warning you, let me go!’
“You’re still not willing to tell the truth even at this point. It seems like you’re not clear-headed enough. I see a well in the backyard. Go and get some water to help them wake up,” Liu Yi said expressionlessly.
Two secret guards immediately nodded and walked toward the backyard.
The man was obviously a little flustered, and he kept looking at the middle-aged woman beside him for help. However, the woman did not seem to know what was going on and did not react.
When the young man saw this scene, although he was nervous, he did not dare to speak. In the end, he lowered his head and fell into silence.
Soon, the secret guards brought two water buckets, which were filled with well water with ice cubes.
When the young man saw the hidden guards put the bucket in front of him, he was so scared that the hair on his back trembled and he subconsciously struggled.
However, both of his arms were restrained by the secret guards. After struggling, he was immediately kicked on the knee and forced to kneel. His face was immediately pressed into the bucket.
The bone-piercing cold water from the well made the man tremble violently. His hands scratched the air weakly, but he still could not resist. He was forced to drink a few mouthfuls of the cold well water, and when he struggled, his upper body was soaked.
“It’s done.” When the secret guards were about to drown the man alive, Liu Yi finally spoke out of mercy.
The secret guards then pulled the man out of the bucket.
“Ah! Cough, cough, cough! Help! Someone’s being killed! Help!” The man let out a hysterical scream and wanted to ask for help from the people outside the courtyard.
Unfortunately, there were also people guarding outside the courtyard. Even if someone heard his cry for help, no one would be so stupid as to come over and meddle in his business.
The man was cold and scared. His face was red from the cold, and his tears and snot washed away the dirty marks on his face.
“Do you remember who you are?” Liu Yi looked at the man coldly and asked with a sneer.
The man was so scared that he did not dare to speak. He looked at the middle-aged woman beside him, his eyes full of fear.
The middle-aged woman heard the man’s cry and finally looked up at him.
She pursed her lips and said, “Young Master, we have nothing to do with each other. Why do you have to make things difficult for us during the new year?”
“Madam Kou, your daughter, Gu Lingyue, failed to poison the heir of the prince regent’s residence and poisoned the prince regent. Even now, our Master is still in a deep sleep. Do you think we should arrest you?” Liu Yi asked.
When the middle-aged woman, no, it should be said that after the Madam Kou heard this, an incredulous expression appeared on her face, as if she could not believe her ears.
Seeing that their identities had been exposed, Gu Chengbin stopped acting dumb. “That’s my second sister’s doing, what does it have to do with us? We’ve been abandoned in this small building by my second sister for a long time, and she doesn’t care about our life or death. Now that she has committed a crime, she wants to implicate us. Is there still any law?!”
Madam Kou looked at Gu Chengbin with dissatisfaction and spat out two words coldly. “Shut up,” she said..
